Re: 2012-13 NBA Random Thoughts Thread IX: Ode to Joy

John Wall with an absurd game of 47/7/8. The guy has always had massive talent and potential--perhaps he's finally arriving?

Or perhaps he sees a very big payday approaching and has kicked it up to notches he didn't bother to even try to reach before, and won't again once those dollars start flowing!

I have him in a keeper fantasy league, so I hope this becomes the new norm for him, but I have to be at least a little skeptical.

The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!)

I wonder how Darren Collison feels about Mike James the journey man starting in front of him, while he is stuck as the 7th man. Grass isn't greener on the other side, he would have had a better season if he stayed in Indiana.

It's not like it was his choice to leave.

It was mentioned a few times, that he was not satisfied coming off the bench for the Pacers and believed he was a starter, otherwise the Pacers could have easily signed Mahinmi without trading Collison.

He still was traded and didn't have any say in the matter. IIRC, the trade had salary cap implications.

A lot of important games tonight. Rooting for Milwaukee, Raptors (vs. Atlanta) and Cleveland (vs. Boston)...
if they all win, the chances of an Indiana/NY/Milwaukee/Atlanta bracket go up significantly.

I think it was for the time left, although the announcers said it was for last touch. They didn't change time and the touch was as obvious as it gets. Whichever it was, generally I can't blame the refs for trying to be 100% safe but in a case like this it hurts one side way too much and it looked unnecessary.

The Cavs basically stopped the Celtics on their final play, deflected the ball out of bounds, 2 seconds left, the Celtics look clueless, and then they get a break and execute a beautiful out of bounds play to win.
